It's a single replacement or a reduction-oxidation reaction. Both mean the same thing. An alkali metal has a initial charge of zero and then switches places with the hydrogen molecule, to form a salt and hHydrogen gas.
Example: Na + HCl -> NaCl + H.
Where hydrogen ions go from a 1+ charge to a zero charge (all elements in standard state have zero charge) and sodium metal goes from a zero charge to a 1+.
This reaction is called a neutralization reaction.

When describing acids and bases what does neutral mean?
Neutral means if the is a reaction between a base and alkali which forms a salt.
Do acids react with alkalis?
Yes, that is called a neutralization reaction.
What is the reaction between acids and acids?
acids and alkalis have no difference
How do you differentiate between an acid and an alkali?
An acid has a pH level below 7, whilst an alkali has a pH level above 7. Acids contain H+ ions and alkalis consist of OH- ions. Acids turn litmus paper red, alkalis turn it blue. When acids react with metals they form hydrogen and a salt. Acids a sour to taste. Alakalis react with acids to form salt and water, a reaction called neutralisation. Alkalies feel soapy to touch. All alkalis except ammonia will react with ammonium compounds, driving ammonia out.
What is the reaction called when acids and bases come together?
neutralization (they cancel each other out) or Double replacement (both produce different substances)
When describing acids and bases what does neutral mean?
Neutral means if the is a reaction between a base and alkali which forms a salt.
Do acids react with alkalis?
Yes, that is called a neutralization reaction.
How does chemical reaction occur in soap making?
In soap making, a chemical reaction called saponification occurs. It involves the combination of fats or oils with an alkali, such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. This reaction breaks down the fats or oils into their component fatty acids and glycerin, while the alkali is neutralized. The fatty acids then react with the alkali to form soap molecules, which have a hydrophilic (water-loving) head and a hydrophobic (water-repelling) tail.
What do acids and bases do with each other?
The reaction between acids and bases is called neutralization.
What is the reaction between acids and acids?
acids and alkalis have no difference
How do acids respond to bases?
The reaction between bases and acids is a neutralization reaction.
What Bond forms between adjacent amino acids during a condensation reaction?
The bond which forms between adjacent amino acids during a condensation reaction is called a peptide bond.
What substance is like litmus that will change color in acids acids alkali?
This substance is called a pH indicator.
Difference between soapy and soapless detergent?
Soaps are formed by the reaction between an alkali and the fatty acids found in vegetable oils and animal fats. Detergents are synthetic cleaners so by definition detergents are “soapless”.
What is an equation showing neutralization between 4acid and 5base?
Acids and alkali mixing
What are some example of exothermic reaction?
Exothermic Chemical Reactions · mixing sodium and chlorine to yield table salt · Respiration; combustion of fuels; and neutralization reactions between acids and alkali's
What chemical an you use to test acids and alkali's?
These substances are called pH indicators.
